Chrome Canary is an early stage build that Google rolls out ahead of its final release – but you can try it too if you don’t mind potentially dealing with some early stage bugs.

So what's in this new update and what changes can you expect to see coming to your browser?

Google Chrome - The 11 hidden tricks EVERY Chrome users needs to know

Wed, March 15, 2017

Google Chrome is the most popular web browser on the planet. It is easy-to-use, lightning-fast, and has a tonne of hidden tricks and features that you probably do not know about. Here's how to get the most from your web browser.

The search bar, for example, has more rounded edges in the new build. This is much like the Google search bar on Android.

This roundness continues for bookmark buttons, the omnibox and text input boxes.

The omnibox, aka search bar, also pops up off the page to give it more impact when you're typing. The most obvious change is to the tabs, which are now far more smoothed off at the edges.

Chrome is also getting lighter and brighter. There is going to be a pure white active tab and toolbar.

Moving away from the current grey should offer a more expansive feel to the browser.

When it comes to creating a new tab, you might currently select the small tab on the right of your current tab.

The new design places a plus tab on the left that stays in one place for new tabs, in the case of Windows, Linux and Chrome OS at least. For Apple macOS that new tab plus button will stay over on the right.

Chrome refresh update

Multi-user tabs are getting better with the ability to use Window Teleporting to move a tab from one user profile to another.

The profile icon of that user will appear in the tab so you can see which is logged in where easily.

If you want to get a look yourself simply download Chrome Canary here then type into the address bar "chrome://flags/#top-chrome-md", select the top section’s pulldown, under "UI Layout for the browser's top chrome", select refresh and relaunch to check out the changes.

There's no word on when this new upgrade is coming but Google has confirmed that it's in the works with a spokesperson telling the The Verge, “We’re working on some major updates to Gmail (they’re still in draft phase).

“We need a bit more time to compose ourselves, so can’t share anything yet—archive this for now, and we’ll let you know when it’s time to hit send.”
